Dear PRC Leaders,
I wanted to list for you a few pregnancy crisis center ideas that have been on my heart for a few years now. I wanted to also share that I am willing to provide for you the contacts, information and more to make all these ideas become reality at your center if you are open to them being implemented.
Text or call me at 404-922-7659
First- Education videos: I highly recommend showing the Live Action, Lila Rose the president of Live Action/Dr. Levatino’s abortion videos. Dr. Levatino is a former abortionist himself. These videos are extremely well done and factually done. Dr. Levatino speaks from a kind, caring and compassionate manner in these videos and these videos are showing the scientific, factual, medical reality of what abortion is.
Paula Kinard, the Executive Director of “Savannah Thrive Women’s Center” has shared about the impact of why women should see the Dr. Levatino videos sharing, “Women should be educated with the truth and be empowered with the reality of abortion, and we use the words inform educate and empower because we trust women to make the decision. We want to share with you some cutting edge thoughts and practices that have a remarkable track record and they are so effective in opening the eyes of young women who are abortion minded.”
The Hope Center and the advocate Suzanne, my mom, has a saved life testimony sharing the impact of the Dr. Levatino videos.
“Emma’s Testimonial-At 16, I thought I would be stressed over school and what outfit I should wear each morning, but instead I’m stressed out about being pregnant. At first, I was in complete denial and didn’t tell anyone but instead tried calling several abortion clinics about having one and what I would have to do, but the moment I gave them by birth date they hung up saying I was too young. I tried until all else failed and told my grandmother who helped me tell my parents. My mom made an appointment right away with The Hope Center in hopes to take my mind off abortion, but I was very adamant about it. The piece of the puzzle that contained life was revealed when an amazing person named Suzanne showed me a video of what happens to the baby during abortion and in that second, I just knew this was not the right thing to do. After watching the video, I believe that God talked through Suzanne as she uttered the words, “You will never regret choosing life”. With those two moments, I have chosen life for the little girl due on February 2nd. God gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers and with him, the choice of life will always be the right decision as he said, “I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb”. The decision of life may be tough but even though you can’t see or hear them yet, a person is a person no matter how small.”
We only show these videos to women who are considering abortion (AM or AV AND those who are not post abortive). Each video teaches women about the truth of what abortion is. I know the most common abortions that we see at least at our center are the pill.
He has a pill video and more:
Here is the official website:

Secondly-Be Not Afraid a poor prenatal diagnoses ministry and more: It is vital to add a tab that is specifically for “poor in utero pregnancies” on your website: I find it extremely important that if you do not already market on your websites about being there for women who have a poor in utero diagnosis, I highly recommend so.
I was on an abortion clinic website, and they advertised themselves as “caring for families who have a poor in utero diagnosis.” We must counter this and show families that WE are here for them.
They made themselves sound like a “loving and caring” place for families whose children are sick, and they offer abortions as the “solution.”
Please get training from Tracy Winsor who has the poor prenatal diagnosis ministry, Be Not Afraid, who walk alongside the parents and their children to fight for their children inside the womb, during birth and after.
Thirdly-PRCs open during the holiday hours: PRCs need to be open when abortion clinics are: We can never risk a missed opportunity for mothers and children to be saved because PRCs are not open when abortion clinics are. The PRCs are often closed during times when abortion clinics are open as during the holiday times and this is quite detrimental. If we are closed, they will go get an abortion. It is vital that these women know they can come and see us at anytime! I understand that staff need a vacation and humbly think in my opinion that we can rally the troops by getting volunteers to come in during the holiday break time vacation and even new advocates to shadow to see clients. I find it vital. If we are not open these women will have an abortion. As Abby Johnson a former Planned Parenthood director states about holiday break time vacation as I echoed, “I learned today that many pregnancy centers are closing down for the next two weeks. Okay. I get that people want a break or whatever. (my words change: need a holiday vacation.) But guys, the abortion clinics are NOT closing down. They will continue to perform abortions the days before and after Christmas. If they are open, then we MUST be open. We have got to find our sense of urgency here. And thank you to the PRCs who are remaining open during this holiday season!” Imagine a life saved the day after Christmas because our doors were opened! Imagine…. If abortion clinics are closed we are too, but if they are open we are too.
Fourthly-100% Pro-Life OBGYNs on your resource list: I would be very excited to provide you all with a 100% pro-life doctors’ referral list for your Pregnancy Resource Center so that you make sure that the doctors these women see when leaving you are affirming life as well and not telling them to have an abortion for any reason!:)
Fifth: The other vital need I see is to have Representative’ Setzler, the author of the heartbeat bill in GA, speak at the advocate trainings at least be a guest speaker for a day as there would be much value as I know this bill has affected the way girls think about abortion Praise Jesus and so we are affected as they will call us. 🙂 He could share with you all information about the bill with questions you and your advocates may have. I know he would be willing to do it. 😄
